Six Kentucky hoopers entered the inaugural NBA2K Tournament and after the first two rounds, we are down to just two Wildcats left as we enter the Sweet 16: Immanuel Quickley (immanuelquick3) and Zan Payne (ZanSecured).
Hosted by the University of Kentucky and Gen.G, the inaugural video game tournament began on Friday with a 64-player bracket. Men’s basketball player Dontaie Allen along with women’s players Chasity Patterson and Dre Edwards were knocked out before the Sweet 16, as was current New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox.
The bracket was split into four regions; future students, current students, alumni, and Big Blue Nation.
